Based at Rugby Police Station, the Rugby Rural North Safer Neighbourhood Team focus on providing a dedicated support and resolution role, working with partner agencies and individuals within the community to identify and solve concerns that affect their locality.

Our policing area has strategic road links with the M6, A5

and M69 passing through. Local officers, with support

tackle the criminals that travel those routes with a view to

making communities safer from the threat of harm. The

area is mostly made up of rural and village communities

which bring their own unique demands.

We focus work around high risk and prolific offenders and

our Neighbourhood Teams will:

• Engage with communities and partners to innovate, identify opportunities and create sustainable solutions

to local problems.

• Work with partners and communities to tackle the harm caused by crime and anti-social behaviour.

• Be visible, accessible and accountable to local communities.

• Engage with the Community Forum process and address priority concerns.

• Seek to identify those at most risk of harm and support them through appropriate interventions.

• Engage with young people and deliver prevention and early intervention activities in partnership with local

schools.

Introduction Welcome to May issue of the Rural North Newsletter. It has been a busy time at Rugby Safer Neighbourhoods. As we mentioned in previous newsletters changes are inevitable as we are spread thin across the borough. The change programme Warwickshire Police have undertaken have made the decision to move PCSO Dave to Rural Centre / South with PCSO Sharon covering all of Rural North. Sgt Masters will remain the Sergeant and Stu Baker will resume the beat manager role. We wish Dave well and thanks for his efforts for the past two years.

We look forward to working closely with the Community Association, as well as other community groups from the area in the coming months and years.

PS Baker, Cllr Simpson-Vince, Mark Pawsey MP and members of the EPRA at the launch event.

Parking Issues

It has been highlighted to the team that there has been an increase in inconsiderate parking around schools and obstruction of people’s property and pathways. Please be considerate and think about the safety and how it affects others. Offenders are being sent traffic offence reports which is a fixed penalty through the post. Please spread the word.

Crime Prevention Advice

It is a lot harder for a thief to steal your vehicle if you take a few simple steps, such as keeping keys out of sight and far from the door. Use your garage and ensure it is secure. Car key burglaries would drastically reduce if these steps are followed. Don’t become a victim.

Having taken on board feedback and assessed recent demand, we are delighted to announce a new schedule of our mobile police station scheme.
